An extrinsic semiconductor is a semiconductor that has been doped , that is, into which a Dopant doping agent has been introduced, giving it different electrical properties than the Intrinsic semiconductor intrinsic pure semiconductor . Doping involves adding dopant atoms to an intrinsic semiconductor, which changes the electron and electron hole hole Semiconductor Carrier concentration carrier concentrations of the semiconductor at thermal equilibrium . Dominant carrier concentrations in an extrinsic semiconductor classify it as either an N type semiconductor n type or P type semiconductor p type semiconductor. The electrical properties of extrinsic semiconductors make them essential components of many electronic devices. Semiconductor doping Doping semiconductorSemiconductor doping is the process that changes an intrinsic semiconductor to an extrinsic semiconductor. During doping, impurity atoms are introduced to an intrinsic semiconductor. Impurity atoms are atoms of a different element than the atoms of the intrinsic semiconductor. Impurity atoms act as either donor semiconductors donors or acceptor semiconductors acceptors to the intrinsic semiconductor, changing the electron and hole concentrations of the semiconductor. Impurity atoms are classified as donor or acceptor atoms based on the effect they have on the intrinsic semiconductor. Donor impurity atoms have more valence electron s than the atoms they replace in the intrinsic semiconductor lattice. Donor impurities donate their extra valence electrons to a semiconductor s conduction band, providing excess electrons to the intrinsic semiconductor. Excess electrons increase the electron carrier concentration n sub 0 sub of the semiconductor, making it n type. Acceptor impurity atoms have less valence electrons than the atoms they replace in the intrinsic semiconductor. They accept electrons from the semiconductor s valence band. This provides excess holes to the intrinsic semiconductor. Excess holes increase ... more details

An intrinsic semiconductor , also called an undoped semiconductor or i type semiconductor , is a pure semiconductor without any significant dopant species present. The number of charge carrier s is therefore determined by the properties of the material itself instead of the amount of impurities. In intrinsic semiconductors the number of excited electron s and the number of electron hole holes are equal n p. The electrical conductivity of intrinsic semiconductors can be due to crystal defect s or to thermal excitation . In an intrinsic semiconductor the number of electron s in the conduction band is equal to the number of holes in the valence band .
